Some good news: Flagstaff to receive federal funding for flood mitigation for Schultz Creek

The City of Flagstaff received notification that the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will provide $2.4 million in flood mitigation assistance, a city press release reported Thursday morning. The funds have been granted through the NRCS's Emergency Watershed Protection program and will go toward the construction of Schultz Creek sediment and flood mitigation detention basins

These Schultz Creek detention basins will help to mitigate post-wildfire flooding from the Pipeline Fire, which burned more than 1,000 acres of the Schultz Creek watershed in June. This burn resulted in an increased risk of post-wildfire flooding for neighborhoods downstream, including Coyote Springs, Coconino Estates, Downtown and the Southside. Already, some of these have seen significant post-fire flooding in current monsoon season.
